We have not been on the water yet, as the water levels at Lake Pisiquid have not risen enough. There was work on the locks, to keep the water in the lake, this spring and the levels have not risen to the point where the town of Windsor can put the docks in. Because of this, we probably will not be participating in Clean Annapolis River Project in July, as we will not have paddled enough. That is sad, as we have been involved with that festival from the beginning, 3 years, ago. We hope to be on the water on Monday, June 25th.

I realized when I posted the winner of the quilt at this year's bowling fundraiser, that I had not posted last year's winner. The child's quilt was made and donated by Pearl H. from Greenwich, NS. The winner was Lucille S. from Gaspereau.

The fundraising bowling, held on Nov 4th was a great time. Seven teams participated, with food, and laughter shared. The winning raffle ticket for the queen size quilt (made and donated by Faye S.) was won by Nancy H.

Here we are after the Bridgetown race in July.

This is a photo of how lovely and clean 'baby' was before the Regatta. The head is on and the crew members at the back, are putting on the tail. Both the head and tail, have wooden 'pegs' that go into slots built into the structure of the hull. The Regatta this year was on the 15th of Oct. Usually, it is on the Sunday, ( the day) before Thanksgiving, but this year it was moved to the next weekend. We paddle before the race, while the 'pumpkin boats' are being put into the water on the Falmouth side of the lake. The weather was lovely, even though a bit windy. We moor the boat before the race starts. That was the last paddle of the season. We are having a bowling fundraiser on Nov 4th, in Windsor.

This is a photo of us putting the boat in the water for our paddle before the start of the Pumpkin Regatta. That was on the 15th of Oct. Here is a good photo of John N. our alternate coxswain, and Ruth W., our captain.

On Monday Sept 25, we cleaned 'baby' and had a pizza party afterwards. We hauled her out of her 'lair' on her trailer and cleaned her bottom. Sue R. 's grandson Luke, crawled underneath her and scrubbed the part that was still on the trailer. I scrubbed the rest of her hull, while other members of the team scrubbed her inside. When we where finished, she looked beautifully clean. But unfortunately, we did not take any photos of her. But there were comments about how clean she was, when we took her out for the last time at the Pumpkin Regatta.
